The We Are Monitoring Association is part of the Granica Group coalition. Together with other organizations, informal initiatives and local residents, we co-create a solidarity network of humanitarian aid on the Polish-Belarusian border. Since 2021, we have been working for human rights by collecting, analyzing and sharing data on the scale of movement, provision of support, abuses of power and various forms of violence, including institutional, experienced by people on the move. We also collect testimonies from those who experienced pushbacks.

Our work also aims to complement the public discourse on migration by creating a space for expression for people whose rights to freedom of movement and seeking safety have been denied.

[Martin] They have a ‘list of border deaths’, a map of ‘countries of origin’ and a map with geo-localized ‘quotes from the border’ with testimonies. They also explain their methodology, publish reports and statistics.
